Can Plastic Surgery Help You Earn More Money?

For better or worse, we live in a society where looks matter, and not just in a subjective sense either. In fact, studies have shown that people who are more physically attractive tend to land higher-paying jobs and earn greater incomes over the course of their careers. Alternatively, workers who are dramatically overweight tend to be seen as lazy and are less likely to receive promotions.

Is any of this fair? Definitely not. However, understanding the reality of the situation puts you in a position to take advantage of it. And that is precisely why more and more people are deciding to undergo plastic surgery in order to earn more money.

How Other People See You

In a lot of careers, it's important to make a positive impression. For example, salespeople succeed and fail based how people respond to them. The same goes for real estate agents and consultants. It would never occur to individuals in these professions to show up to work with unkempt hair or stained clothes. They need to have a certain polish in order to be taken seriously, so in a way cosmetic enhancement is just a natural extension of their everyday beautification routine.

But cosmetic surgery isn't just helpful for careers that are more appearance-driven. It can also help people in any industry extend their careers. Often, workers in their 50s and 60s are seen as too old and gradually pressured out of the workplace. By getting a little bit of cosmetic work done and restoring some youth to their appearance, however, they can keep working for as long as they want.

How You See Yourself

Undergoing cosmetic enhancement can certainly change how other people see you, but it's also important to remember the impact that it can have on yourself. Typically, people go under the knife to correct aspects of their appearance with which they're dissatisfied. Afterwards, patients tend to have more confidence and a brighter personality. That surge in self-confidence can have an enormous impact on your career, as people are more likely to listen to you and take you more seriously in the workplace.

So what kinds of procedures can help to make a difference? Believe it or not, even minimally invasive treatments can help a lot. By far, the most popular cosmetic procedure is Botox injections, which can take years off of your appearance by eliminating fine lines and wrinkles. Similarly dermal fillers can help to add a youthful plumpness to your face. Or, if you're feeling more adventurous, liposuction, eyelid surgery and facelifts are all popular methods for rolling back the clock.

Sure, cosmetic enhancement can be costly. But think of it as an investment in yourself and your own future earning potential.
